Weekend Race update

Again, sorry for the lack of blog updates. I've been super busy with work, training, and preparing to race. As usual, the night before tech debacles were epic. I've broken another steerer on the mountain bike. I was able to race, but I'm going to have to do some creative work to get things going for next weekend.

No results from Saturday yet, but Paul certainly took a top five in Men's A, while I was probably top ten. Given that I was on the singlespeed, I would be stoked to have that result confirmed. Trevor rocked it in Men's C on his 1997 Homegrown. Patrick aborted the Men's B race when he decided that the suffering was just too great. Course was typical New England. Super muddy, but very fun.

Cross today went surprisingly well, given how destroyed I was from yesterday. Only two back from Trevor in Cat 3/4, with Patrick a few back from me. Considering that I was the only one who suffered for two hours yesterday, I'm pleased with that. Something like 17th out of about 50 or 60. Great course. Very fun, nice and technical.

Wow...bike racing can make a weekend disappear in short order. Enjoy this short video from Saturday. You'll note that Paul is very, very fast. That's me in the first clip, Paul second, me again, then post race.
